Defo not C4D's. Not for that sig. You could include some shapes and patterns in there though. It needs a lot of work tbh (@ KC).
Crap, I wish I had a Wacom Tablet. >.> I was thinking of "drawing" a background on the notebook paper, like some Yoshi-esque hills and maybe some clouds. But drawing it with the pencil tool may not turn out too great. Or maybe just some shapes and patterns, like you said. I also want to take it out of grayscale and make it full color.

Why not? Depends on what C4D you're talking about.

Wacom. Pff, we all wish KC. That is a GREAT idea though! That would be very original and would look great. There's gotta be some way.

Is that sig any thing near to the one that was screwed??

No, except the black and white and part color aspect of it. Anyway, I redid it.

Lol thanks. I love your sig all except for one thing. The halftone(?) pattern in the upper right of the background. It's not needed. I think the sig will look beter w/o it. Other than that, nice. If you added some lighting effects, you could completely enhance it. But very original, which is always good.

Done and done...but how do you mean "improve lighting effects"? I'm a noob still. :p I haven't really worked with lighting yet. Is all you mean to make it bright in one corner, then in the opposite corner make it darker?

Well, I think a good example of lighting is the one in my Naruto sig that won Sotw 8 (I think). That sig is almost nothing but different colored of brushes in multiple layers on different blending modes. Theres some color, some overlay, some linear dodge, etc. I say just play around with crap until it looks good. I've never looked at any tutorials other than to see how to make a couple of effects, so I don't know the "official" way to create lighting effects. Just play around with colors, opacitys, and blending modes. Or you can just forget everything I just said and keep what you have. XP
 
Go with the first one kc. I've decided I don't really care about this week so I'm just entering what I made...
 
Anyone care to comment or critique my entry. Its a different style so I need some feedback to get better.

Here it is again so you don't have to go back to page 4.

Thanks Demonflair for the remarks any feedback helps even the negative feedback.

KC I actually like the more colorful sig better. Maybe replace the blocks in the top left with something else though or remove them. The color is almost too bland for the sig in my opinion. The blocks just don't pop like the rest of the sig, but it is still a great entry.
 
I like it but I think it would look ALOT better if it were smaller. ;)
I've gotta get ps on my computer.. and I never could really figure the render's thing out, I kept putting the whole picture in... is that how it is suposed to be?

No problem. Well to make it better you could just leave the Mario in the Pop-up, and erase those shapes coming out from the sig too, because that doesn't give you the feelling of poping-up imo...

The colors are great in it, but the shapes... not so sure about them... but that only my opinion :)

Well to make a pop-up sig, you need to make a white bg, then put the render. Do not Apply Image in any case!!! Make a bg that you like then make a white rectangle shape behind the render, put it close to the head of the render, and there you go.

I'm unsure about the border though, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'll be glad to hear them. :D
I'll probably make a V2 in a few days.
